EPISODE: 4 - Arshile Gorky

SYNOPSIS

Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a murky canvas that could be by Arshile Gorky, a pioneer of abstract expressionism. Works by this Armenian-American artist fetch millions at auction, but there is one major hurdle in the way of owner Liza Dunluce realising its fortune - the canvas is covered in white paint. The picture was a gift to Liza's late husband Alexander in 1965 when he was keeper of conservation at the Tate Gallery.
